PreloadMap

Helps remove huge lag spikes by preloading the map.

If you don't mind longer load time on the COFFEE CUP CUP, consider toggling OverrideCup for better preload

This mod is mainly aimed at servers with big saves that lag every time you enter an area for the first time since loading in.

It allows you to "visit" every part of the map right after loading. This essentially makes you lag at the start so that you don't lag later.

A mod like this is very useful if you need to race explorers across the map or something.

You can toggle Play Packer Deluxe to make the load less boring

There are a few simple settings:

1. Auto Preload - the option to turn on/off automatic preloading
2. Radius 2^n [m] - allows you to change the radius of a circle that's rendered, this changes how much lag you get at once, but bigger circles decrease the number of points you have to render. this setting is the n in 2^n, which is how many meters the radius is
3. Visual Preload - Render the objects not only into ram, but also their shadows, etc.
4. Post-stream delay [ms] - changes how long to wait before preloading another point, can help if the server has low disconnect threshold
5. Startup delay [s] - the time it waits before launching when Auto Preload is ON.
6. Play Packer Deluxe - toggle automatic start of Packer Deluxe minigame to kill time while waiting for the visual preload.
7. Preload Areas - you can define where to preload by adding strings of MinX,MinY,MaxX,MaxY in cm (this unit is used by SCIM), example: -280000,-270000,100000,125000

The progress is shown in the right corner of your screen with a little widget that disappears when it finishes.

Be aware that having Visual Preload turned ON makes your camera unusable while preloading (should take a few minutes at most, but the performance increase is then quite a bit bigger)

The mod is only on the client side, so you can join any server with it enabled.

You can start/cancel the preloading with simple commands PreloadMap.Cancel and PreloadMap.Start
